2,3-Dichloro-1,4-hydro-quinone 2,3-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone monohydrate: a quinhydrone-type 1:1 donor-acceptor [D-A] charge-transfer complex.

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2,3-dichloro-benzene-1,4-diol 2,3-dichloro-cyclo-hexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione monohydrate), C(6)H(4)Cl(2)O(2)·C(6)H(2)Cl(2)O(2)·H(2)O, the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-hydro-quinone donor (D) and the 2,3-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone acceptor (A) mol-ecules form alternating stacks along [100]. Their mol-ecular planes [maximum deviations for non-H atoms: 0.0133 (14) (D) and 0.
